    Study Notes

    Parallelograms: Properties and Theorems

    • Definition: A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.
    • Congruent Triangles: A parallelogram's diagonal divides it into two congruent triangles.
    • Opposite Sides: Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length.
    • Opposite Angles: Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal in measure.
    • Diagonals: The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other (intersect at their midpoints).

    Mid-Point Theorem

    • Line Connecting Midpoints: The line segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side.
    • Length Relationship: This line segment is half the length of the third side.
    • Converse Theorem: A line drawn through the midpoint of one side of a triangle, parallel to another side, bisects the third side.

    Rectangle Properties

    • Right Angles: A rectangle is a parallelogram where one angle is a right angle; therefore, all angles are right angles.
    • Equal Diagonals: Diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length.

    Rhombus Properties

    • Equal Sides: A rhombus is a parallelogram with all four sides equal in length.
    • Perpendicular Diagonals: The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other.

    Square Properties

    • Equal Sides and Angles: A square is a parallelogram where all sides are equal and all angles are right angles.
    • Equal and Perpendicular Diagonals Diagonals of a square are equal in length and perpendicular to each other.

    Additional Theorems

    • Converse Theorems: Statements that reverse the conditions of a theorem.

    • If opposite sides of a quadrilateral are equal, it's a parallelogram

    • If opposite angles of a quadrilateral are equal, it's a parallelogram.

    • If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, it's a parallelogram

    • Midpoint Theorems: apply to triangles and lines parallel to a triangle side, including dividing the third side by half, as in the Mid-Point Theorem

    Examples and Figures

    • Examples illustrate applications and proofs: How to demonstrate properties using known theorems
    • Figures: Diagrams used to visualize and understand the relationships in various shapes.

    Exercises

    • Problem variety Exercises are provided to practice the material.
    • Variety of figures: different shapes like squares, rectangles, rhombuses etc. are used to illustrate the theorems.
